PART A: which statement best describes how the bankers actions develop the theme of the story “the bet”

English
1 answer:
never [62]3 years ago
5 0

Part A: A: the bankers hasty thoughtless actions lead to trouble and despair for him.

Part B: B: “desperate gambling on the stock exchange, wild speculation and the excitability which he could not get over even in advancing years, had by degrees led to the decline of his fortune and the proud, fearless, self-confident millionaire has become a banker of middling rank, trembling at every rise and fall in his investments”

In Part A, A is the correct answer because the banker is constantly taking making quick decisions with his money. We see this in the supporting evidence of option B. It describes his gambling as desperate and him making decisions based on "wild speculation". We see the despair further on in the story when it says, "When he got home he lay on his bed, but his tears and emotion kept him for hours from sleeping.”

Which is NOT one of the differences between literary works in dramatic works?
Aneli [31]
The correct answer is A. dialogue is used.
This is not a difference between literary and dramatic works. Dialogues are used both in literary texts and in plays, so they are not something that distinguishes the two genres. On the other hand, stage directions are written only in dramatic works, and only they are meant to be performed on stage, whereas novels and other literary works are not.

In classic and contemporary literature what does it mean to be immortal
spayn [35]
Plain and simple, it means not having to die. The fear and the enigma of death is one of the most ancient and persisting human obsessions, that has been the subject of countless mythological stories and written pieces of literature.

In classic Greek and Roman literature, gods were immortal by definition. But there is also an interesting story about Cumaean Sybil, a priestess who was pursued by Apollo. When he promised to grant her one wish if she would yield to him, she asked to live eternally. But then she changed her mind and refused Apollo, who left her to decay alive, as she didn't ask for eternal youth.

In contemporary literature, there are numerous examples of fascination with the so-called "undead" - vampires, aliens, and other uncanny creatures.
